Galesburg Silver Streaks Girls Basketball @ Rock Island Rocks

The Galesburg Silver Streaks girls basketball team showed some fight late in the game Thursday; but it was too little, too late, as the Streaks lost in  Western Big 6 Conference at the Rock Garden against the Rock Island Rocks 60-52.

The Streaks outscored the Rocks 23-15 in the 4th Quarter, and was down by 22 at one point in the game, able to make a nice comeback.  Full court pressure late in the ball game caused some turnovers.

The Streaks were 19 for 48 from the field.  The difference was turnovers for the Streaks in the first half; they had 11 in the first half, 19 for the game.  On the offensive glass, they were out-rebounded by Rock Island 20-12.
